THE PREM ERA 91

THE PREMIER LEAGUE HALL OF FAME

ICONIC MOMENT
More than half of Beckham’s Premier League goals came
from outside the penalty area – including18 free-kicks – yet
his most famous strike wasn’t even in his opponents’ half.
The former England captain’s stunner against Wimbledon
in1996 helped launch him on his way to superstar status.

ICONIC MOMENT

Bergkamp’s pirouette and finish against Newcastle in 2003

remains one of the most unique goals in Premier League

history; no other player possessed the deftness of touch or

imagination to produce such an outrageous moment of

skill. In 2017 it was voted the league’s best-ever goal.

ICONIC MOMENT

Chelsea went to the Reebok Stadium, Bolton, in April 2005

knowing that a win would see them secure their first-ever

Premier League title. And it was Lampard who delivered

for them, netting both goals in a 2-0 win to take the trophy

to Stamford Bridge – a first league title for 50 years.

ICONIC MOMENT

Famously, Gerrard never got his hands on a Premier

League winners’ medal, with his slip against Chelsea in

2014 cruelly denying him and Liverpool. Before that, the

closest he came was in 2008-09, when he and Fernando

Torres ran riot, most notably in a 4-1 win at Old Trafford.
